Things That Gladden The Heart

Just got back from a lovely run in the sun to a confirmation email that my youngest boy has qualified as a fastest runner up for an under 15s Karting GP race meeting down in Kent this weekend.

I wish him the very best, let us know how it pans out. (y)
 
Being one down with two to play in a club match and then holing a bunker shot for a birdie to win the 17th and then making a miracle sand save on the 18th to win that as well. The two guys we were playing were just distraught.
 
Discovering that Walkers Sensations Balsamic Vinegar and Caremilsed Onion taste exactly like the old Smith's Pickled Onion crisps.
 
Just back from my little lads GO Kart grand prix race day. They ended up splitting it into 2 races of 12 laps due to temperatures and risk of kids overheating with all the safety gear and helmets.

Needless to say proud of the little fella he had 2 podiums with 2nd and a 3rd place, also had fastest lap times in both races. In his first race he was started in last place in grid because of the previous race qualifications but that's the one he came through to a 2nd place finish. The other race just got pipped by a bit more experience.

Were off for a celebratory bit of grub of his choice. Happy dad because got a happy kid.

Took a trip out to Cowdray Park to watch some Gold Cup polo today. Once one looks past the inevitable stereotypes and prejudices attached to the sport one finds that there is plenty to enjoy: out in the countryside, sunny weather, horses in full flight, great entertainment and all for a tenner for me and Mrs T as we enjoyed watching two of the sport's best players in action to boot.
